Steve Pleich Sides with Racists In Online Forum

I posted a link to this article in the Facebook group Citizens for a Better Santa Cruz:

'El Mustachio The Magician' Sought In Santa Cruz, California For Allegedly Robbing Costco
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/04/el-mustachio-the-magician_n_5763502.html

"Police in Santa Cruz, Calif., are looking for a mustachioed man they say repeatedly robbed a Costco store. They've given him the name "El Mustachio The Magician" for both his facial hair and "his ability to make Bose speakers disappear."

Here my post and the discussion:

Any thoughts on whether or not calling a suspect "El Mustachio" qualifies as racism on the part of the SCPD? I don't see the Santa Cruz Police Department using the Spanish language very much on their blog.

'El Mustachio' Strikes Again!

Petra Kropotkin Let's face it Paul, SCPD is probably viewing their intended blog audience as a group of mostly white middle class locals who will blindly and rabidly embrace ANYTHING SCPD says or does. As I've read the blog it seems to be basically a circle jerk with the usual "suspects" (as in safety group leaders) offering their own special observations and thumbs up.

Or an East Side rummie maybe? Also, how did the SCPD set the physical agility requirements that you are referring to? How is it the SCPD has an imbalance in gendered officers, is it is all because of a woman's personality? Is that what you are saying? Doesn't women serving in the military, and as police and fire fighters have to do with the struggle for equal rights? Why is it that so many overweight police officers can pass these agility tests?

Paul Mendoza The history of the Santa Cruz Police Department begins with the incorporation of the city in 1866. A Board of Trustees governed the new town, and S.W. Field, President of the Board, appointed the first Police Chief in 1867.

Robert Liddell was a Santa Cruz lifeguard at the time he was appointed Police Chief, and he served as the head of a one-man department until 1888. By the turn of the century, the police force had grown to three men.

As was common in most Police Departments in the early years, the chief was a politically appointed position. In 1933, the city was reorganized under a City Manager/City Council form of government, and the Police Chief became a professional staff position.

I am fighting for the man on my right and left. I am a 68W Combat Medic. In 2003 I received dual B.S. degrees in Sociology & Health Science. Deans List honors, Summa Cum Laude. 10 years passed since my thesis was published-- a comprehensive analysis of mandatory minimum sentences affecting non-violent drug offenders of Hispanic, African American, & Asian/Pacific Island descent--these demographic criteria (amongst many others) took hundreds of hours inside CDC Susanville interviewing & reviewing individual cases which disproportionately affected the most improvised communities & essentially institutionalized racism affecting these ethnic groups.

I am confident your comment "Why didnt they use a Black Bart analogy (which is also racist) or a Redneck analogy? He looks like a hick also, doesn't he? Like a hillbilly thief maybe? Or an East Side rummie maybe? Also, how did the SCPD set the physical agility requirements that you are referring to? How is it the SCPD has an imbalance in gendered officers, is it is all because of a woman's personality? Is that what you are saying? Doesn't women serving in the military, and as police and fire fighters have to do with the struggle for equal rights? Why is it that so many overweight police officers can pass these agility tests?

You have no right to talk of Racism, you are the most disgusting kind of racist--a chickenshit pussyfooting, victim . You have no right to talk about the Military. You have never put your life on the line for the "Rights" you exploit. You have no right to question why Women or Minorities or Law Enforcement or the criteria for the hiring processes exist because you are a parasite. You flood the dams & suck up every bit of rhetoric from "Indybay" & use it for your agenda which perpetuates willful ignorance & institutionalized racism. You have no factual evidence to support your argument. Shut your mouth. You disgust me. I shed blood to ensure your ability to shit on this countries issues which you contribute zero to proactively change. I have a sisterhood in EMS & I know the bond they are a part of. They are family. I don't know what you heard, but shut up until you suit up. Oh. You can't.

I am flat out calling bullshit & furthermore, I am Insulting you--because you insult my experience & the lives of all who preserve your existential arm chair philosophy imposed on society. I don't help people who refuse to help themselves. Except when I'm legally obligated to, so remember who comes when you need any public response for medical or law enforcement & remember who protects your mouths ability to degrade the country you "live" in.

Paul Mendoza Well, Ms. Young, my first response to reading that nick name and seeing a dark featured man was that he was Latino. They could have used the word Caucasion in their headline if they wanted to communicate better, but hey their nickname made it to the Huffington Post. That will provide a lot of leads, I am sure.
